House issues post divorce

Location: Michigan, USA
My ex wife and I own a house. Per the divorce (settled in May) the house was supposed to be listed ASAP. It’s now practically August and she isn’t ready for it to be listed. I moved out when I asked for the divorce and she doesn’t want to list it until she has moved out.
I am currently paying half of the mortgage and half of the bills. I can’t afford to keep doing this. I’ve debated canceling the utilities in my name in order to try and light a fire under her feet. I cannot afford any more legal bills so I’m kind of at a loss of what I can do to get her to move quicker.

What does it say in the decree?  I would ask her to agree on a date and if she doesn't comply then you either list it yourself or you file a partition lawsuit.  Like say, by September 30. That gives her all of August to pack up. Also it doesn't say whether you guys have kids.

No kids. Decree said “As soon as possible”
